I am almost two weeks post op.  Lately, I have been having this non stop itching under my armpits and right around my breast area (sorry tmi).  Anyone had this problem?

 Oh my go****hought I was going to go crazy because I was so itchy! My tummy was the worst area and I thought it would never end! Anti-itch cream helped a little but it seems to be something everyone goes through. I think after about a week it finally eased up and I haven't had a problem since. 
I know how you feel and it was miserable, but it will pass.

 I had a little itching on my chest and stomach but not much.  I can say that you might try using just deodorant if you're using a deodorant+antiperspirant.  For some reason, about 6 months ago, antiperspirants suddenly made me itch like crazy on my armpit.  It just came out of the blue, maybe I got a bad batch, but after I quit using them it has never returned.

 IT'S USUALLY THE EFFECTS OF THE ANESTHESIA. IT'LL LAST ABOUT A MONTH. WHEN YOUR BOWELS START ACTING NORMAL, IT SHOULD BE GONE. ALSO, NEVER, EVER, EVER,EVER TRUST A FART DURING THIS STAGE................ I HOPE THIS HELPS.

I am 8 weeks out and still itch so bad on my tummy. I even have a rash, but they say its just heat!?  I've never had this before surgery. Its not even under my tummy roll (different type of rash) and is driving me crazy!  All I do is itch.  I hope it goes away soon!

At 8 weeks it is probably nerve regeneration over your incisions.

 Is the area just itch or is it inflamed/red? If they gave you antibiotics at surgery this can actually be a yeast infection, if it's just itch with no real inflamation, you might want to call your doc and see if you can have a Benadryl, that always helped me with post op itching.

I'm 6 days out and I itch on my abdomen. I assumed it was the scope wounds healing.

What perplexes me is the tingling. Last night I had a really strong tingling sensation all over.
